National Western Drive Closure

National Western Drive (also known as Packing House Road) will permanently close between Race Court and North Marion Street.  Construction traffic only. Please see map for route and detour information. Slow speeds advised. Please obey signage and flaggers.

A new National Western Drive will be relocated approximately 200 yards west of the current location, adjacent to the future riverfront space along the South Platte River. This new alignment is expected to open in 2022 and will be a wider, multimodal roadway with protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and pedestrian features.
